Well, first you should write to FeedBooks support: support@feedbooks.com pointing to this thread. I'm sure they'll like to fix it.

In the meantime, fixing the ePUB is easy:

1. Unzip the .epub file, just as if it were a .zip file. If needed, rename the file to .zip first.
2. Open the OPS/fb.opf file with a text editor (not Word, but something like Notepad), and delete the offending opf:scheme="URI"
3. Add the modified file to the original .epub/.zip (or a backup). With WinZip/WinRar it's probably as simple as drag&drop.
4. Rename the .zip back to .epub if you had renamed it first.
5. Check it in the online validator: http://www.threepress.org/tools/

With something like WinZip/WinRar it could be even simpler, they might let you edit the files that are inside the .epub without having to actually unzip it.

Here it is, if you can fix it or tell me how to fix it that would be great.

To others reading this thread: this attachment is for diagnostic purposes only please do not download unless you intend on helping me fix it, thanks

thanks, but I did exactly as stated and now it is having a filename error stating that

"ERROR: /Users/thunderrune/Desktop/E.S. Wynn-Pink Carbide.epub: length of first filename in archive must be 8, but was 9"

"ERROR: /Users/thunderrune/Desktop/E.S. Wynn-Pink Carbide.epub: length of first filename in archive must be 8, but was 9"

Does that happen when you zip only the modified file into the original ePUB? Valid ePUB files are required to have the "mimetype" file zipped first and uncompressed. If you update only the modified files, the "mimetype" should remain unchanged and therefore the ePUB should remain valid. If the zip program does not behave in this way, it's probably not a bug, but it's weird. If, on the other hand, you are zipping again the whole contents of the original ePUB, don't do that, and update only the modified *.opf file instead.

Yeah I used stuffit archive manager to do this. I actually tried to create an archive from an unzipped folder but it didn't work. Ill try to use the aforementioned program an ill see how it works.

SUCCESS!! Thanks for the help guys! I will now report it to feedbooks.
